Several of the stores have closed down recently(Shibuya, Ginza, and Harajuku) and I went last weekend and found out their main Shibuya 109 store is closing now as well! Can’t find anything about it online and their website is either janky or there are 0 locations in Tokyo now. I’m sad I’m losing my favorite boba place but I’m even more upset that I have a full stamp card for a free drink I can’t use now.

According to [their website](https://chatime.jp/locations/), there are zero locations anywhere in Japan now!
Noooo, I love them! I noticed the Shibuya store was closed a few months ago and hoped it would be for renovations.
It seems like their JP twitter and insta are gone too, so this looks like the end I guess.
Idk boba booms come in waves so maybe this one is over
I saw the one in Tsudanuma in Chiba was gone recently, but assumed I’d still be able to head to Tokyo for it.
That’s too bad, but understandable. The tapioca tea bubble must be bursting. I wonder if all the Gongcha locations will be closing soon. They don’t have the huge queues they did a year or so ago.
I went to the one in Ikebukuro a week ago!
Need to move to a country where it’s not a fad.
